Taking risks in the last week

I've been acting a bit risky. Yesterday, I ran around an uneven field full of holes, chasing a soccer ball. And almost broke my ankle 5 times. Then, I tried to hit the soccer ball with my hand/arm/wrist. And almost broke it. Volley ball, soccer, I get the two mixed up sometimes. With one week before the bar, it's probably not a great idea to break both ankles and my writing hand. But the exercise was great! Running, puffing, panting, chasing after the ball in the sun. I got a bit of color, and some exercise. It was a good weekend. Took my mind off the exam. Sort of.

The weather has warmed up again. This is both good and bad because I tend to get very sleepy in the warm weather, though I am more motivated and have the best intentions. My kitty has been acting like a cat would. Lying on every available cool surface. Alternating between cement, soil, tabletop, tile, whatever I'm working on at the moment for maximum interruption. I envy lower life forms. The toughest thing she has had to worry about: which side of her tummy to sun first. Oh, the life of a cat.

Since I've been more stressed out in the past 10 weeks than an ordinary person, I've had to adapt my coping mechanisms. Looking at pictures of cats is a great way to relieve stress short term. But the effects wear off after the pictures are gone. Working out is a good stress-reliever. It is especially helpful that working out is preferred over continuing to study. This way, a rigorous 45 min session can pass relatively eagerly. The last method is not advisable. It involves an epilator. And the hair on your legs. Or other body parts, but that can go south really quickly. An epilator is about the most ineffective way of remove hair, short of tweezing individual hairs with point tweezers. It uses the tweezing action, and slowly, repeatedly, attempts to yank hair out by the roots. Why would anyone use this? It's less messy than waxing and can be done by oneself. While it hurts, a lot, it's actually a bit amusing to watch. If you don't mind the pain.

I'm just kidding, the epilator is a terrible way to relieve stress!
